PA GOV. TOM WOLF (D) CALLS LAST NIGHT’S RIOTS IN PHILADELPHIA “PEACEFUL PROTESTS:”

“Well first of all I’m, I mean I’m, as everyone is really sad by the, the death of the victim. And and I think I share in mourning with the family. Anytime that happens is a tragedy, for whatever reason, and I think we need to make sure that that we follow up, find out what happened I’m, and my staff have been in constant communication since last night with the folks in Philadelphia. And the hope is that that doesn’t escalate into anything more than, than the peaceful protests that I think this kind of situation brings out.”

As they say in the DNC-MSM, the peacefulness of the protest certainly intensified dramatically: At Least 12 Philadelphia Officers Hospitalized As Violent Clashes Break Out Over Walter Wallace Shooting.

Rod Dreher writes that the media is “managing” (with a pillow, as Iowahawk would say) the coverage of the riots and looting “because Pennsylvania is a swing state, and talking about race riots and protesters breaking the legs of cops is not a story that helps Joe Biden,” and Wolf is doing his part as well.

UPDATE: Philadelphia police say 1,000 looters targeting businesses on second night of protests.
